Heading to OK

#1 Post by TheCalvinator24 » Wed Sep 03, 2008 4:51 pm

Paternal Grandmother died Saturday.

Funeral is tomorrow in Chickasha. She had been suffering with Alzheimer's the past couple of years. Because of that, I think my dad would probably not have taken her death all that hard, except he lost his older brother last December to cancer.

He still has a younger half-brother, but that's all of his immediate family left.
